Activesync 4, WM 2005 and firewall - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development

I have to disable my firewall while trying to sync. Anyone knows how to make this work together? I'm runnig PC-cillin 2005.

dont know that brand of firewall but most firewalls have settings which let you deside which applications can do what and on which ports
so if yours dont then i sugest another firewall
otherwise look in it's settings

Is it Activesync 3.7 or Outlook 2003 or Windows 2003 ?

I am currently running ActiveSync 3.7 with Outlook 2003 on a windows 2003 machine.
For some WEIRD reason my computer freezes every once in a while and i have to reset it, after trouble shooting the application that causes my pc to freeze is Outlook 2003, but i am wondering if it can be because it is using activesync or anything like that...
Any ideas guys?
yes
Yes I have same configuration and similar problem.
Maybe you are right, its because of Outlook 2003. I can only synchronize once and then I have to kill activesync to synchronize my xda again. (http://www.xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3262)
Have you tried to synchronize it without outlook items? maybe only favorites or folders?
yup I'll confirm that problem too
running Office 2k3 Pro on MSW2k3EE with same symptoms...
I thought it was my 2k3 rom acting up lol
sorry O2
Active synch and outlook 2003
You will have to uninstall the active synch application from Control Panel.
Then go to program files and delete the directory Activesynch. Reboot.
Download AS 3.7.1 and install it. It should work and resolve the synch problem.
Also check on the settings of your USR connection ( there is a USB2 patch on Windows update that corrects the disconnecting of the USB.
usb update
Hi Ronin
I can't find any usb2.0 update for windows 2003. Could you send download link?
Thanks
Windows 2003 has USB 2 support enabled at the OS level. If you are using Office 2003 in Windows 2000, XP home or Professional you should use the "windows update" under tools in your Internet Explorer.
If you system needs it it will show as one of the OS recomended updates.
Note: also check on your firewal software and enable " connection manager" to allow listening in for TCP ports, some of which are used by MS office, Active synch USB calls and the device itself. A lot of people do not realize that the active synch comes into weird ports and their firewall blocks those calls ( Check your firewall logs to see if connection manager and activesynch attempts were blocked!)

Im getting annoyed with activesync 4 and wm2005

It just sits there saying 'Connecting'
I tried the ip address change in Remote-NDIS Host
tried uinstall/reinstall Twice
Tried repair
tried outlook default mail
Tried turning firewalls off
im running XP pro with SP2 , activesync 4 (build 4343)
and wm2005 OS 5.1.1700 (build 14326.0.0.0)
Please help. Im sick of searching...
I upgraded my O2 XDA II tonight and everything went OK except like you my PC just sits there now "Connecting"
I know this may sound kind of strange: I tried disabling my software firewall on my PC (ZoneAlarm) as well as disabling Adware- Adwatch, but the PDA and the PC still wouldn't sync. AS 4 just displayed "Connecting".
I decided to also try disabling my antivirus software (Norton AV) in addition to the other disabled software and "suddenly" I can sync again!. Go figure.
Still cant sync...
Im transfering files via bluetooth until i fix this.
Still searching!
Really weird: I turn on the Norton AV auto-protect = no connection between AS & XDA. Turn off the Norton AV auto-protect = sync. I just spent the last hour bouncing back and forth to insure that Norton was the blockage.
The only thing I can suggest is download ActiveSync 4.0 from Microsoft's website, uninstall current version, reboot PC, install new version.
Mount PDA on cradle...
System will not recognize it again.
Unplug USB cable and plug it again BUT IN ANOTHER USB PORT on PC.
System will detect and install properly.
I hope this works for you as it did for me.

WMDC ActiveSync No Connection

I have an Advantage x7500. I've installed the WM6 ROM here. My problem is I can't connect to my Advantage via Windows Mobile Device Center on my Vista box or ActiveSync on my XP box. The computer makes the expected sound when the USB connection is made, and in ActiveSync I can explore the device, but that's it. In WMDC, the error message for RapiMgr is "Windows Mobile-based device failed to connect due to communication (0x80072745) failure (see data for failure code)." I've done a lot of searching before I posted this and found a lot of posts (so at least I'm not alone). I've disabled firewalls, AV, anti-spyware, but no change. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled WMDC and ActiveSync. I do notice in Device Manager no Windows Mobile Remote Adapter under the Network Adapters node. Under the Mobile Devices node is HTC USB Sync. Any suggestions would be appreciated as I've been beating my head on wall on this. Thanks.

Thanks, but been there, done that. (I didn't want to waste everyone's time so I did use the search button first)
As I mentioned in my prior message, in Device Manager there is no Windows Mobile Remote Adapter under the Network Adapters node. Do those of you using WM6 have such an entry for that adapter?
.
I have the same problem, but in Vista.
Sync has been working fine, but now suddenly it wont connect.
.
ps: sync on my SPV C500 works perfect. It's only my X7500 that won't connect.
..
lo and behold.....xman06's solution in the other tread worked for me.
"Try to go on setting connection usbtopc and disable advanced network functionality and ok"
perfect

Thanks, but been there and done that too. (The downside of searching first is that all the usual solutions have been tried)
Tell me, under Device Manager do you have Windows Mobile Remote Adapter under the Network Adapters node? And under the Mobile Devices node do you have HTC USB Sync? I'm missing the former; that may be the issue but I'm not sure not knowing if others have it or not.
I bit the bullet and did a hard reset (too bad that doesn't work on spouses ) and ActiveSync started working again.
Kaiser / TyTN II WMDC Activesync no connection
I have the same issue described above. And no, the solutions given don't work. Not even a hard reset.
I am not sure what the issue is. Any ideas?
Similar problem solved
I had the same problem and went through many steps like those posted in this forum. I'm going to show my steps to solve this problem without hard reset your phone.
1) When the phone is connected, at the phone ActiveSync setting delete the PC profile.
2) Unplug the phone from the PC.
3) Uninstall and then reinstall the ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Center.
4) At phone system setting -> About -> make sure there is a name ID. Without this the PC cannot identify the phone and thus cannot sync.
5) Set the USBtoPC with 'advance network..." enabled.
6) To the extreme, before step 3, go to PC windows\inf and remove infcache.1 (need to add in an administrators account and set the privilage to full control). That may remove old corrupted drivers.
This page was coming up on the top list of google so i'll post my solution here.
I also spent hours trying to find the problem
uninstalled/reinstalled WMDC/Downloaded the latest version etc/Hard reset TYTN II/followed endless google searches,followed the instructions here etc etc.
Similiar to the OP i had windows making the "normal ding dong sounds but no connection happening.
In the finish what fixed my problem was with the device plugged in go to Device Manager on the PC and in "Network Adapters" select "Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter" and right click "Update Driver Software"
That got me back connected.....Hope it helps someone else out
Did it worked? I can't install WMDC without having my Pocket PC conected and when I have it it doesn't install anyway...
hey guys, if you have firewall installed disable it until the connection is made with your computer and phone, then re-enable your firewall.
this seems to be the problem solution for me all the time. Hope it helps.

This version of black berry doesn't match with prophet WM6, i have been trying with different ROM and the result is always the same ...... My PDA got freeze and need to hard reset
I had the same problem, what worked for me was that I installed it directly to the main memory not the SD card. Unfortunately it is not generating a PIN. Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
Why Blackberry Connect? Activ Sync work better and is cheaper!
Install a OWA Server in the DMZ of your Firewall. Install URL Scanner on the OWA and set it only for Exchange OWA. Make a IP Rule on your Firewall that only HTTPS and the IP Adressrange from your Mobilephone Provider works. Setup a Certificat to Protect it ... finish ... high secure and faster! If you use Lotus ... OK Blackberry is the only way :-> If you think OWA Server isnt Secure enough ... OpenVPN ... Mobile Securemote for Checkpoint ... IPSEC ... its hard core but MI6 doesnt read your Mails :->²

Because some companies use it, because you can sync wireless everywhere, because you can avoid rooming costs by having BB contract with mobile operator and because it works.

Help with Activesync Error Message

I have a att 8525 with wm6. My pc has windows xp home edition service pack 2 2002 edition. When I connect phone via cradle upon reboot of the pc I get a message new hardware found it then tries to sync. After this attempt I get a message device not detected so I do the troubleshoot after the trouble shoot it comes up with 2 issues one which really confuses me. I downloaded activesync version 4.5 but here is the message I get below
1 To synchronize email etc with your PC Microsoft Outlook XP or later must be installed
2 Unable to establish a connection between pc an my device. It then gives a link to a guide for this with all sorts of changes to make on the phone etc. I have performed a great deal of them changes enabling and disabling settings they ask for etc but this has not resulted in any change or a connection
My biggest question concerns the first issue mssage I get. 1 unable to synchroniz with my pc because it seems to says Microsoft Outlook Xp or later must be installed. When i went to install the activ sync my windows xp home edition was listed as compatible. So I am very confused here. Do I need to upgrade to the outlook 2007 ( More Money damn ) or is there another way perhaps a lower version software or am I missing something. If it matters i am connected via wifi wireless router which I just installed Any Help will be greatly appreciated, greatly

I couldn't sync after I did my first ROM upgrade and it was an official upgrade from AT&T, thats how I found this place. I would suggest reading through the Hermes WIKI, then looking through the Hermes section, it was a REALLY BIG help to me. Now on to your questions:
You have to have MS Activsync installed on th PC, I would try finding v4.2 as I have been having problems with v4.5 and 4.2 fixed it.
Are you trying to sync with the USB or just with the WiFi connection???? I don't think you can sync via WiFi or Bluetooth.
You only need Outlook 2007 if you use it as your E-mail client (I don't use MS Outlook or MS internet explorer).
Sync Solution!!
I had the same problem. I tried on my 3 pcs & figured out. USB connection is the best for all connection & sync.
Microsoft Outlook XP or later is must to sunc contacts & e-mail. if you dont have those & have Outlook Express you need a program (I forgot the name) to install in your computer & cab in DPA which sync contacts with Outlook Express.
i did following.
For sync connection make sure you have all security disable or you allow main 4 files to communicate. check this troubleshoot for help on allow files for different security programs.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/help/activesync/default.mspx
once you see device detection click "Explore" on active sync even it is connecting the device..if you see the phone files it means it is connected but somehow not synchronizing.
then try to muck aroung advance USB connection tick & untick. and also connected via The Work & The Internet connections in connection settings.
Hope it helps.

This happens to me when I upgrade to a new ROM, and I am unable to resync via ActiveSync. The first thing I check and gets me back to be able to sync 99% of the time is the USB setting on the phone.
Go to->Settings->Connections->USB to PC->Then UNCHECK "enable advanced network functionality"
That always gets me back to be able to sync again via USB. Hope that helps...(a little late I know....)
